I propose to take Questions Nos. 97 to 100, inclusive, together.

I am informed by SOLAS that there are sufficient training places available to meet current demand in both the motor mechanic and the vehicle body repair apprenticeships.

The information sought by the Deputy in relation to the number of registrations and the numbers currently on a waiting list for their off-the-job training phases on these programmes is set out in the attached table.
